Summary:
The objects of architecture are not simply inert assemblies of material - they are complex entities that unfold their potential agencies (whether political, social, or environmental) in equally complex ways. Exploring these forms of architectural agency has in recent years been a central aspect of the work of Andrés Jaque and the Office for Political Innovation, who, in addition to their built works, pursue a research practice through the many other media of architectural production. Their projects are reactive, intervening on what already exists to demonstrate how design, politics, and criticality operate across different scales and at the intersection of multiple realities. Jaque’s performances, videos, and installations—and this book, which collects a range of recent research projects—bring new subjects into the fold of architecture, focusing on alternative actors, distributions of power and representation, and the sociocultural effects of architecture. These episodes address ideas like genetic manipulation, the necessary requeering of dequeered spaces of online interaction, and the selling of modern architectural comforts in order to subvert the field from within and to contest capitalism's flattening-out of public life.

Summary:
An energy-efficiency and sustainable building - this was at the core of the brief for this extension to the Tax Office in Enschede, designed by architect Ruurd Roorda. In addition, the identity desired by the Tax Department (business-like, honest, trustworthy) needed expressing in the design. Though new techniques were necessary to achieve results, it is a passive building for all that, with low-tech aspects such as thermal mass, daylight and the use of clay uppermost.
